Total Nerd The Best Actors Who Played Robin

In the Batman universe, a lot of folks have been Robin. In the primary Bat Family there's the first Boy Wonder, circus kid Dick Grayson; angsty Jason Todd who came back to life and donned the Red Hood; Tim Drake, the Batman fan and New 52 Red Robin; his girlfriend Stephanie Brown who took on the role when he resigned; and little Damian Wayne, Batman's son with Talia al Ghul. Even that is just the tip of the Bat-berg when it comes to Robins. Several actors and actresses have played Robin (whichever Robin is wearing the cape at the time) in films, TV shows, and animated projects. Like Robin themselves, many of the actors who played Robin returned to the role several times.
